ishtar79Day Nine: Favorite female character in a drama show: Kalinda Sharma
There are plenty of reasons to watch The Good Wife: intelligent writing, political and legal intrigue and wonderfully complex and flawed characters, but imo Kalinda is deserves her own category.
Kalinda, quite simply, gets shit done. Her determination is only matched by her resourcefulness, and personality-wise, it seems like next to nothing can faze her. Aloof and mysterious, with an absolutely unshakable poker face and having mastered the art of subtle sarcasm and sardonic eyebrow raise, Kalinda embodies a character type that hits all my buttons, but that you sadly rarely see represented by a female character (let alone a female bisexual character of colour). I adore her dynamic with everyone, from the tentative development of her friendship with Alicia, to her indulgence with a hint of flirtation with Cary and the way she approaches relationship like a predator stalking her prey. Quite simply put, Kalinda is MADE OF WIN. And the woman can accessorize, whether it's thigh-high boots, shades or an expertly wielded baseball bat.
